Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 328 The fish ate the corpse, and I ate the fish...

Phoenix Bay, camping site.

Time: 8pm.

After receiving the alarm, the Criminal Police Brigade of Gaoping Branch of Linjiang City immediately went to the scene of the crime.

When they arrived at the place, they saw a luxurious RV and a row of tents parked in the shadow of the woods below the slope, with a bonfire burning in front of the canopy.

The name of the criminal police team is Han Dong, and the person following behind him is his apprentice, Fang Cong.

"These people are so leisurely and leisurely at this late hour that they come to camp in this remote place."

Han Dong is about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and a beard on his chin.

"Stop talking nonsense. What's the name of the person who called the police?"

Fang Cong shook his head: "He didn't say the name, he just said that he caught a body while fishing at night by the river."

"Damn, such luck..." Han Dong teased, then walked down the slope with the forensic doctor and the on-site investigator.

Because it was night, in addition to the light from the campfire, the headlights of the RV and Toyota were on, shining on the river bank not far away.

The body had been pulled up and was placed on a layer of plastic on the shore.

In fact, there is not such a large piece of plastic tape, but several pieces cut and pieced together.

There were soft cushions and moisture-proof tin foil in the tent, but Luo Rui didn't use them because he was afraid that fibers or something would get on the corpse.

When Han Dong approached, he saw a tall, dark-faced man squatting in front of the corpse. He was wearing latex gloves on both hands and was examining the corpse.

Next to him, there was also a woman squatting, and the two seemed to be talking about something in a low voice.

There were several other people standing aside, seemingly curious about the body on the shore.

There were two men squatting by the river, vomiting continuously and gargling with mineral water.

Fang Cong frowned and whispered in Han Dong's ear: "Who are these people? They don't seem to be afraid of corpses?"

Han Dong frowned, quickened his pace and walked up.

Hearing the footsteps, the dark-faced young man turned around and stood up.

Before the other party could speak, Fang Cong hurriedly said, "Did you call the police? No, why were you surrounding the body? You will be held responsible for contaminating the scene."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Dong slapped him on the back of his head: "You have no vision at all."

Han Dong cursed, then immediately put on a smiling face, walked forward, and stretched out his hands: "Deputy Captain Luo, hello."

"Hey, is this Captain Cai? Long time no see."

Hearing the flattering and somewhat servile expression on his master's face, Fang Cong's eyes widened.

Deputy Captain Luo?

Damn, he was secretly complaining in his heart. It was so dark that he really didn’t recognize her.

No, why are there dead bodies everywhere they go?

He glanced at the nearby campsite and was even more surprised. They could catch a dead body while camping and fishing?! Are these people ruthless?

Looking at the grilled fish thrown on the ground beside the campfire, Fang Cong immediately understood what was going on with the two guys gargling by the river.

Did they eat the fish they caught in the river? Then, by coincidence, they found the body in the river.

When Fang Cong thought about this, his stomach churned. He was once again certain that these were a bunch of ruthless people!
"Hello, Captain Han." Luo Rui greeted.

Cai Xiaojing smiled and nodded. Neither of them shook hands with him because they were wearing gloves and had just touched a corpse.

Han Dong didn't mind. The city bureau solved the headless corpse case a few days ago, and all three branches in Linjiang City knew about it.

There were five headless bodies, including two female victims who were dismembered with an angle grinder and thrown into the trash can. One of the women was beheaded right under the noses of the criminal police.

In the absence of any clues, Luo Rui's criminal team captured the perverted murderer in just three days.

The murderer specializes in hunting down prostitutes, and now Linjiang City has once again launched an anti-prostitution campaign in the streets and alleys.

The public security brigade was in action every night, arresting people, and rumors were spreading that the high school student who had brought down the Tianlong Hotel on his own was back again, and had become the deputy captain of the city bureau.

Now, every night the streets and alleys are full of chaos and people are jumping up and down.

Pornography, gambling, and drugs, as well as H and E-related crimes, are the major cancers that affect the public security of a city.

These things are intricately related. If they are not rectified regularly, it will be difficult for ordinary people to have a safe environment.

However, the most difficult thing is not the above points, but the people hiding in the dark, who are the top priority.

Han Dong had no time to think about anything else. He just glanced at the corpse in front of him.

He was a male, short and stocky, with puffy cheeks. He hadn't shown any signs of gigantism yet, so he must have just fallen into the water.

Luo Rui moved the body aside and allowed the forensic doctor brought by Han Dong to perform a preliminary autopsy.

Then he explained: "The body was found at 7:05 p.m. The river was flowing slowly, and the body was fished out from the middle of the river..."

Han Dong frowned: "In the middle of the river?"

He took a look at the river surface, which was nearly fifty meters wide. What kind of fishing gear would be needed to catch such fish?

Luo Rui saw his confusion and pointed to the side: "It's a sea rod."

"Understood." Han Dong responded: "Deputy Captain, I saw you checking the body earlier. Do you have any other findings?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "Let's wait until your forensic doctor finishes the examination. However, we are now close to Huining City. The body was washed down from upstream, and the owner of the body may not be from our city."

"I understand this." Han Dong squatted down and began to follow the forensic doctor's autopsy.

The case occurred within the jurisdiction of the Gaoping Branch, so of course they are responsible for it.

Seeing them take over, Luo Rui took off his gloves, walked to the campfire and sat down in a chair.

Others also came forward and sat in a circle.

Tian Guanghan said "Pooh" several times: "What's going on? You can find a dead body when you eat a fish. It's all Yang Bo's fault. Why are you fishing for no reason?!"

Yang Bo glared at him and said, "Damn it! When you were eating the fish just now, didn't I see you blaming me? Who told you to be so impatient? Why didn't you let the fish sit for a while and grill it tomorrow?"

Speaking of this, Tian Guanghan pointed at Su Mingyuan again: "It's him, a foodie, who made me unlucky too."

Su Mingyuan also said "Puh, Puh" twice and laughed, "Old Tian, ​​stop making such a fuss. The body flowed down the river, who said the fish ate it? How could it be such a coincidence?"

Chu Yang coughed and looked at Fang Yonghui, who said slowly, "I cast my rod very accurately, and the landing point will not be more than one meter different. These fish and the corpse are in the same place."

Tian Guanghan vomited, and Su Mingyuan also vomited.

Lin Chen patted his chest with a lingering fear, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't eat too much. Fortunately, fortunately."

She shuddered all over and kicked the grilled fish aside.

Luo Rui looked at them and shook his head helplessly.

They could come across corpses while camping or fishing. I don’t know if it was because they were unlucky, or if they were born with holy bodies, or if they were just unlucky.

"It's already eight o'clock in the evening, and we haven't had dinner yet. I'll get the barbecue from the refrigerator and we can eat something."

Tian Guanghan and Su Mingyuan quickly shook their heads, and Lin Chen also refused: "How about we eat noodles? Who dares to eat barbecue?"

"Okay, noodles then."

Cai Xiaojing stood up: "I'll help you."

The two got into the RV and scrubbed their hands with soap in the bathroom.

Luo Rui stood behind Cai Xiaojing. As she washed, she said, "There is sand in the mouth and between the nails of the corpse, but no damage to the body. It looks like he drowned, not thrown into the river after death."

Luo Rui hummed.

Cai Xiaojing wiped her hands with a tissue and turned around.

Because the space in the RV was small, the two people were very close to each other.

Luo Rui quickly moved aside and let her come out and stand in front of the washbasin.

Cai Xiaojing said: "Maybe it was premeditated murder."

"Yeah." Luo Rui nodded slightly and rubbed his hands carefully.

"You don't seem to care much?"

"What do you care about? I deal with corpses every day. I finally get out for some fresh air, and then I encounter another case."

Cai Xiaojing smiled and said, "Isn't that what we police officers do?"

Luo Rui shook his hands: "I just want to be quiet for a few days and enjoy life. This case is from Gaoping Branch, we are not involved."

"Okay, it's up to you."

The two people picked up two large bottles of mineral water and some Shin Ramen noodles bought from the supermarket from among the many supplies.

Soon, the sound of sizzling noodles was heard in the camp.

Fang Cong, who was standing more than a hundred meters away, glanced at the camp and nudged his master: "What a miserable life they are leading, tsk tsk ..."

"Why? Envy?"

"No, Master, I was just wondering if these guys are really that powerful? Can they solve any case? You just saw it, Deputy Captain Luo examined the body, and he said nothing."

"Isn't this good? If the city bureau keeps interfering, our branch will have a hard time." After Han Dong finished speaking, he looked at the young forensic doctor beside him and asked, "How is it? Any results?"

The medical examiner put away the flashlight in his hand and replied, "There is sand in the mouth, ears, throat, and between the fingers, which is consistent with drowning."

"Then it's not murder."

The forensic doctor quickly waved his hand: "Han Da, I didn't say that."

"What do you mean? The body has no external injuries, no defensive wounds, so it's still not murder?"

"Well... let's wait for the autopsy results. I can't say for sure right now."

"Okay, take the body back first. I'll wait for your autopsy report." Han Dong stood up, glanced at the camp, and then walked over.

Luo Rui was holding a bowl of noodles. When he saw him coming, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "Captain Han."

Han Dong couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the cooking noodles on the table, as well as steaming braised beef, cumin lamb and other meats.

Cai Xiaojing has a high EQ. She quickly took a pair of empty bowls and chopsticks from the side and handed them to him: "Captain Han, if you haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat some with me?"

"How can I do that?" He said this and looked at Luo Rui.

Luo Rui nodded: "We are all colleagues, no problem, let's eat and talk at the same time."

"Okay!" Han Dong sat down next to Tian Guanghan without hesitation, smiled, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

“This beef tastes good!”

Tian Guanghan rolled his eyes.

"Cumin lamb, also hot..."

Luo Rui handed him a can of beer: "Would you like some?"

"No, no, I'm still working." Luo Rui didn't try to persuade her and just slurped his noodles.

He thought Han Dong must have come to discuss the condition of the corpse, but who knew that this guy didn't say anything, but just ate up all the meat on the table with his chopsticks flying.

Han Dong didn't notice at all that his colleagues in the branch were looking at him with contempt and swallowing their saliva from time to time.

Fang Cong wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Is our Han Da going there to eat and drink for free?"

An old detective next to him replied, "You know nothing. Your master is very meticulous. Luo Rui is the most powerful criminal investigator in Haidong Province. Who are the people he deals with? Green Ghost Chen Hao and Liao Kang from the provincial and municipal drug enforcement detachment are both small guys.

Besides, he is now the deputy captain of the Municipal Bureau, and who knows if he will become a full-time officer one day. There will always be a time when asking someone for help will be useful.

Your master should go and say hello and build some ties so that you can ask for help in the future."

Fang Cong smacked his lips and said, "Then why didn't you take me with you? I didn't have dinner either. I came here right after I received the alarm."

"I have some biscuits in my car. Do you want some? Stop standing here and help me carry the body."

"Well, it's better to follow Deputy Captain Luo. There's food and drink..."

On the other side, after Han Dong finished eating, he touched his belly and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for the hospitality of Deputy Captain Luo."

Luo Rui shrugged: "You're welcome."

"Um... I wonder how you judge this body?"

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

Luo Rui smiled and said, "The autopsy report hasn't come out yet, what can I say?"

Han Dong didn't expect the other party to be so conservative. The rumor was wrong. Isn't it said that Luo Rui is an expert in criminal investigation? His investigative methods are also very radical. It is impossible that he has no judgment.

He didn't give up: "Could it be murder?"

"Captain Han, I really don't know. Our understanding of the case is immature. It's just a corpse. We have to wait for the autopsy before we can get the results."

"Okay then." Han Dong stood up and said, "Deputy Captain Luo, Captain Cai, shall we talk later? Thank you for your hospitality."

"You're welcome." Cai Xiaojing replied with a smile.

After he left, Tian Guanghan smacked his lips and said, "What a big eater! He didn't even leave any beef for me."

"Are you still thinking about eating?" Lin Chen curled his lips.

"Food is the most important thing for people. We rarely go out camping, so of course we have to eat well and have fun."

Lin Chen didn't say anything more to him, but looked at Luo Rui: "Team Leader, do you really have no judgment in your mind?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first. Tomorrow is another day off, let's have fun for another day."

After saying that, he stood up and went into the tent.

Lin Chen frowned and looked at Cai Xiaojing: "Captain Cai, what happened to our team leader?"

Tian Guanghan said, "Are you stupid? Do you think the team leader is made of iron? Not to mention on weekdays, this happened even on vacation. Who can be in a good mood?"

“That’s true…” Chu Yang sighed, “In the past year, all the cases we encountered were major ones, with many deaths. Our physical and mental endurance is almost at its limit.”

Yang Bo nodded: "If you ask me, we need to rest for at least half a year before we can recover."

At this time, Su Mingyuan raised his head, took a sip of beer, and stared at the tent where Luo Rui was resting. He said in a daze, "The team leader is concerned about us, especially Captain Cai..."

Cai Xiaojing's face froze.

Lin Chen hurriedly asked: "What do you mean?"

Su Mingyuan sighed: "Since our criminal team was established, we have encountered major cases. If we are not careful, we may even lose our lives.

The team leader's master, Mr. Zheng, was nearly stabbed to death by criminals because of investigating Gu Zhiliang's involvement in H and D criminal gangs in Shahe County. Director Li Nong and Director Li also nearly drowned.

Qi Lei has been dead for almost a year. Captain Cai was also involved in a major D case in Huining City, and he almost...

As for you, Lao Tian, ​​you also have psychological problems because of the last case...

Do you think he can hold on as a team leader and our leader?

I think that Captain Cai’s return this time made the team leader feel that the situation we are facing is too dangerous, so the team leader…he has backed off a bit!”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent and lowered their heads.

Lin Chen sighed: "But if we don't do these things, someone will always do them, and someone will always sacrifice..."

Su Mingyuan shook his head: "I tell you, Lin Chen, although we are police officers, our job is to find out the truth and arrest criminals, but we are also ordinary people. Ordinary people will be sad, upset, and blame themselves!
How much remorse does the team leader feel? Only he knows. "

Tian Guanghan nodded, laughed, and then pressed Su Mingyuan's shoulder: "Not bad, Mingyuan, everyone said you were a big fool, but I didn't expect you to be so smart. I think you can be a psychologist."

"Well...I majored in psychology in college." Su Mingyuan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

At this time, Chu Yang nodded in agreement: "At the beginning of the year, the tomb robbery case in Qin Province had not been solved. Director Zhao Changgen invited the team leader to assist in the investigation many times, but he refused. Also, do you know Ding Wei from the ministry? Didn't the ministry issue a wanted criminal on the poker card list?

The ministry meant that all these serious criminals must be arrested this year. He wanted to follow the team leader to track these people, but was rejected by the team leader. "

Lin Chen asked: "How do you know so clearly? Did you eavesdrop on the team leader's phone call?"

Chu Yang shook his head: "No way, he called me several times, and it was the team leader who asked me to answer the phone, and every time he told me that he was not in."

Cai Xiaojing pursed her lips and said, "Okay, everyone go and have a rest. Let's have some fun tomorrow and stop thinking about these things."

"Okay." Lin Chen responded.

We cleaned up the camp a bit and went to sleep.

Because the tent we brought was big enough for one person to sleep in, there was no problem of squeezing or rubbing against each other.

Lin Chen and Cai Xiaojing naturally lived in the RV.

When the two people passed by Luo Rui's tent, they both took a deep look at him.

……

……

The next day, the river flowed slowly and a thin mist rose on the surface of the river.

A hummingbird flew by the shore, flapping its wings at a very fast speed.

The sunlight penetrated through the thick clouds, and a beam of light surged out like a lightsaber, piercing the dim dawn.

Luo Rui got up early in the morning. He spread his arms and listened to the birds singing not far away.

When the breeze blows, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel it carefully, it really makes you feel refreshed.

This is very strange. In the city, I feel very tired when I wake up in the morning, as if I never get enough sleep. But as long as I return to the countryside, get close to nature, and breathe fresh air, I rarely feel tired when I wake up in the morning.

People's mood naturally improves.

If you are depressed or if life is not going well, go for a walk! Nature is the best therapy.

"Good morning!" Cai Xiaojing came out of the RV wearing sportswear.

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows: "Running?"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Cai Xiaojing smiled and started jogging along the riverside.

Before Luo Rui could react, Lin Chen also greeted him: "Team Leader, good morning!"

She followed behind Cai Xiaojing, wearing yoga pants and a sports jacket tied around her waist, and started jogging as well.

Then it was Tian Guanghan who said, "Good morning, team leader. I heard you talking in your sleep last night."

Fang Yonghui: "Team Leader, good morning."

Chu Yang: "Team Leader, let's see who can run faster?"

Fang Yonghui shrugged his shoulders. "It's useless to run fast. It depends on who can last longer. When arresting suspects, it's all about endurance."

A figure passed by Luo Rui's eyes, and Yang Bo somersaulted hard. After he stood up, he clapped his hands in a cool manner: "Team leader, hurry up, let's go jogging."

"Okay. I'll be there right away." Luo Rui took a deep breath, smiled and nodded.

So, the group started jogging along the river bank.

The early birds, the fishermen who had stayed up all night, and the small yellow flowers blooming on the hillside all appeared before their eyes one after another.

When Luo Rui finished the run, he was in a very happy mood. It seemed like he hadn't felt that long-lost, satisfying feeling for a long time.

Leave all the troubles behind.

Even if dust falls on your shoulders, just brush it off.

After running, everyone returned to the camp and ate breakfast while chatting and laughing.

No matter what the fishermen catch, even if it is a corpse, it will not reduce their enthusiasm, and it can also become a topic of conversation in their future fishing career.

Fang Yonghui, Chu Yang and Yang Bo continued to squat by the river, fishing alone in the warm sunshine.

Su Mingyuan and Tian Guanghan sat around the oven, acting as chefs, and gave the roasted skewers to others one by one.

Lin Chen and Cai Xiaojing lay on the grass, squinting their eyes and looking at the clouds in the sky.

The clouds drifted away with the wind, and the sun shone on my face, feeling warm and itchy.

Luo Rui sat under the tree, watching and listening to their laughter, and was in a good mood.

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

Luo Rui reluctantly took out his cell phone and glanced at the screen. It was Lu Kangming calling.

After thinking about it, he hung up the phone and threw it aside.

Then, Kang Bolin called, but Luo Rui hung up the phone.

But these two people seemed to have discussed it beforehand and took turns calling.

Luo Rui finally couldn't help it, answered the call, and put the phone to his ear.

"Lao Kang, I'm still on vacation!"

On the other end of the phone, Kang Bolin was confronted. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Is that so..."

The other party's hesitation made Luo Rui feel even more annoyed: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."

"It's like this. Didn't the Gaoping Branch receive a body yesterday? Han Dong said you guys encountered it. The man's name is Zhang Jichun."

"so what?"

"You don't know him?"

"Why should I know about him?"

Kang Bolin sighed: "Zhang Jichun is a professor of literature at Linjiang Normal University, and he is also a relative of our city leader.

His autopsy report came out this morning, and it's consistent with drowning, but he drank a lot of alcohol before his death. His family suspects he was murdered because he was blackmailed three days before he drowned, and his identity is quite important, so the police station hopes you will lead the investigation."

"Can I say no?"

"Uh……"
